The particles are rendered with a hard edge as if each particle is a sphere. When the particles intersect each other, they can blend together in a manner similar to Metaballs. The Blobby render type can be used to create a wide variety of render styles including liquids, plasma or bubbbles. This lecture demonstrates the fundamental particle and shader knowledge necessary to control the look of Blobby particles.
